Systems and Methods for Virtually Controlling Devices

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, responsive to detecting that the output requested change of the at least one configurable parameter was not written to the transfer memory of the first controlled device, displaying an alert and storing the requested change of the at least one configurable parameter for subsequent outputting to the first controlled device.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the user input indicating the requested change of the at least one configurable parameter is received while the controller is not connected to the first controlled device via the NFC connection.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the requested change of the at least one parameter is output to the controlled device during a next connection to the first controlled device via the NFC connection after the user input is received.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the user interface is continuously updated to display the current status or measurement data in real-time while the controller remains connected to the first controlled device via the NFC connection.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the NFC connection to the controller is a first NFC connection using a wireless port of the first controlled device, and wherein the current status or measurement data is further transferred to a logger device continuously over a period of time via a second NFC connection using the wireless port of the first controlled device, the status or measurement data being stored at the logger device.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying, via the user interface, an alert indicating that the requested change of the at least one parameter was successfully written to the transfer memory of the first controlled device.

9. The first controlled device of claim 8, wherein the transfer memory is powered by a magnetic field generated by the controller to provide the NFC connection, and wherein the first controlled device receives the changes to the at least one configurable parameter from the controller while in a powered down or unpowered state, then applies the received changes to the at least one configurable parameter upon a next power up or powered state of the first controlled device.

10. The first controlled device of claim 8, wherein the instructions are further executable to release the wired port after reading the transfer memory and reconnect to the wired port before writing the updated parameter data to the transfer memory, and wherein the instructions are further executable to release the wired port after writing the updated parameter data to the transfer memory.

11. The first controlled device of claim 8, wherein the first controlled device only connects to the controller using a respective NFC connection.

12. The first controlled device of claim 8, wherein the transfer memory is only accessible by the wired port when the wireless port is in a released state and not in use to provide a communication link via NFC, and wherein the transfer memory is only accessible by the wireless port when the wired port is in a released state and not in use to transfer data with the internal memory.

13. The first controlled device of claim 8, wherein the parameter data stored in the internal memory relates to an operation of a mechanical or electromechanical device included in or in communication with the first controlled device, and wherein updating the operation of the first controlled device includes changing an operational state of the mechanical or electromechanical device.

14. The first controlled device of claim 8, wherein the parameter data includes a measurement that is measured by the first controlled device and a configurable parameter that controls operation of the first controlled device based on the measurement.

16. The controller of claim 15, wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the controller to output to the user interface a respective alert responsive to determining that the adjusted parameter data is not transmitted to the first controlled device.

17. The controller of claim 15, wherein the user input is received while disconnected from the first controlled device, and wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the controller to transmit the adjusted parameter data during a subsequent connection to the first controlled device via the NFC interface, and wherein the adjusted parameter data includes a changed value for a respective one of the one or more corresponding configurable operating parameters of the first controlled device.

18. The controller of claim 15, wherein the computer-executable instructions further cause the controller to disable the user interface while receiving data from the first controlled device via the NFC connection.
